We always say
how we cant put ourselves first. We don’t have the time or energy. It mak
es us selfish. But why did we even make selfish a bad word? Making yoursel
f a priority is important not just for yourself but for everyone around yo
u. Here is why:

\n

div>\n

You can’t give what you don’t have.

\n

If you don’t love yourself\, how can you love someon
e else?

\n

If you’re not hea
lthy\, how can you have the energy to take care of others?

\n

\n

If you don’t have money\, h
ow will you buy others what they need?

\n

If you’re unhappy\, how can you bring joy to others?

\n

This is why “YOU” are the most i
mportant person.

\n

This is
why putting yourself first is necessary.

\n

\n

Making ourselves a main priority allows us th
e health and happiness to take care of others. It allows us to be the role
model to our children. The teachers to others who want to learn and grow.

\n

The friend who can give
and be of service to those they care about.

\n

We must replace the word selfish with self-care.

\n

\n

To take care of oneself is an act of love. When we fee
l good\, we pass on the good energy. Moods/emotions are contagious. We can
spread happiness through our own happiness.

\n

\n

Isn’t it time you made yourse
lf a top priority?

James Fiorentino\, a nationally renowned sports and wildlife artis
t who resides in Hunterdon County\, will exhibit a series of watercolors o
f rare wildlife at the Mayo Performing Arts Center Art Upstairs Gallery\,
January 17\, 2017 – February 28\, 2017. This exhibit will b
e in partnership with Studio 7 of Bernardsville and Conserve Wildlife Foun

James Fiorentino is renowned for his ability
to create uncanny likeness of famous sports icons. A resident of Hunterdo
n County\, he has painted and illustrated some of the most recognized face
s in the world using his self-taught watercolor expression\, including Pre
sidents\, Nobel Peace Prize winners\, CEOs and political icons. His work i
s showcased in museums\, galleries and private collections across the glob
e\, and his story has been told on national television and in the pages of
magazines and newspapers. James is the youngest artist inducted into the
New York Society of Illustrators and was the youngest artist to display hi
s work in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Fiorentino continues to prov
e himself as a highly regarded illustrator and painter. He graduated from
Drew University in 1999. Now\, his trademark detail and realism in waterco
lor can be seen in wildlife paintings. More information is available at JamesFiorentinoNatureArt.com.

\n

Of Rare Wildlife Revealed\
, author and curator David J. Wagner says\, “The breath of artwork produce
d by James Fiorentino reminds me of the breath of work of America’s riches
t artist of the 20th century\, LeRoy Nieman..Very few wildlife artists tha
t I know of can handle the human figure in convincing fashion. Fiorentino
has distinguished himself as a wildlife artist with skills and versatility
that positions him above the rest in this regard.”

\n

Adds David Whe
eler\, Executive Director\, Conserve Wildlife Foundation\, “His watercolor
paintings truly bring wildlife to life. In doing so\, his art helps to ed
ucate and engage viewers about the precipitous declines that many of these
species have undergone.”

\n

“By bringing together audiences for both
art and wildlife conservation\, we hope to educate and inspire adults and
students on the immense power of the arts to illustrate conservation issu
es\,” Wheeler continues.” We are so pleased to partner with Mr. Fiorentino
on this unique campaign.”

NEW exhibition spotlighting the history and innovation of toy manufacturin
g in New Jersey.

\n

Everyone knows that the spaces on the Monopoly ga
me are named for Atlantic City streets. But did you know that the inventor
of the spring-loaded mechanism found on pinball machines lived and worked
in Jersey City?

\n

Or that Lionel – the biggest name in model railro
ading – had factories in Hillside and Irvington?

\n

Or that one of th
e country’s largest makers of tinplate mechanical toys was located just of
f Broad Street in downtown Burlington?

\n

Or that a factory in the Ch
ambersburg neighborhood of Trenton earned the nickname “World’s Largest Do
ll House” because it manufactured hundreds of thousands of dolls each year
?

\n

Toy World\, a fun-filled exhibition coming to the New Jersey Sta
te Museum this autumn will focus on the little known stories of the import
ant role New Jersey played in the history of the American toy industry.

Held inside the historic Roeb

trucks\, hundreds of vendors and live punk rock.

\n

The Tr

ic Roebling Wire Works building in Trenton\, New Jersey. Their team embrac
es a life-long love of punk rock and hardcore\, DIY ethics\, the arts\, ta
ttoos\, copious amounts of coffee\, the occasional shot of Jameson and a s
olid\, well-styled quiff. The mission of founder Joseph Kuzemka was to cre
ate a flea market experience in his hometown that is unlike any other\, br
inging together vendors that touch upon the aforementioned themes while ad

\n

\n

\n

\nEvery City has its own rhythm…its own history…its own journey to greatne
ss. For more than 100 years\, Asbury Park has been a fabled music destinat
ion. From the bandstand shows of Arthur Pryor in 1904 to the more than 70
clubs which formed a cradle of rock during the 60s and 70s\, Asbury Park a
nd Music are forever intertwined.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Today\, the City
is enjoying an artistic and economic renaissance and music remains at the
center of it all. Asbury Park is emerging stronger and more vital than ev
er\, and the Festival will help maximize its resurgence with unparalleled
music and film collaborations\, attracting a diverse audience from around
the region and around the world.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

The Festival will benefit the under
served children in Asbury Park\; one the most challenged youth communities
in the country by providing music education\, instruments and social conn
ection opportunities.

\n

\n

\n

Every
one is very excited about this event so there will be more details to foll
ow!

Under new Executive Chef Anthony Bucco\, the restaurant will
feature the boutique wines of California’s PlumpJack and its sister prope
rties CADE and the new Odette Estate. The dinner will start with passed ca
napés followed by a four-course menu by Chef Bucco. Guest Scot Gaffney fro
m PlumpJack will be on hand to discuss the wines.

\n

Established in 1
995\, PlumpJack Winery sits in the heart of Napa Valley’s renowned Oakvill
e region\, surrounded by a 42-acre estate vineyard highly regarded for the
quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon. Northeast of St. Helena\, CADE was fou
nded with a commitment to environmental responsibility and organic winemak
ing. The group’s newest winery\, Odette Estate\, from the legendary Stag’s
Leap district\, will serve its first release at the dinner.

\n

Bucco
says\, “PlumpJack is an iconic California producer. Their boutique wines
have garnered some extraordinary ratings. The menu selection will be sensi
tive to the integrity of each pairing. Specific ingredients were chosen to
mirror the philosophy of Restaurant Latour. We are excited to showcase th
e synergy between the depth of our wine cellar and our ability to amplify
experiences with our seasonal awareness and advanced techniques.”

\n

Bucco’s inventive cooking unique flavor combinations are on display with c
anapes includingUni with polenta and grapes\, Avocado with pistachio and c
hili\, and Wagyu Beef Tartare\, all paired with 2013 CADE Sauvignon Blanc.
Turbot\, apple and vanilla will be matched with 2013 PlumpJack Reserve Ch
ardonnay\, while Porcelet with wild cherry and celery pairs with 2012 CADE
Cabernet Sauvignon. Newly release 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon from Odette Est
ate will accompany a hearty Short Rib of Beef with cocoa and endive. For d
essert of Apple\, Toffee and Yogurt\, a 2012 PlumpJack Merlot will be serv
ed. The full menu is below…

The discussion will be facilitated by Laura Booker\, psychot
herapist and gender and sexuality expert.

\n

All parents want to rais
e happy\, healthy and emotionally connected boys. As our culture bombards
us with messages and stories about who boys are: emotionally void\, distr
acted and sexually aggressive\, we parents aspire to raise sons that are s
o much more. This event is the first in a series of discussions focused
on how a community can collectively support boys and help them best develo
p their authentic and compassionate selves. The discussion will also cover
the notion of today’s masculinity.

\n

Topics to be discussed inclu
de:

\n

How do we foster empathy\, connection and friendship with and
among boys?

\n

How do we raise boys to have a healthy relationship to
partners and sexuality?

\n

How boys suffer from gender oppression an
d what we can do?

\n

How do we create a community of parents with sim
ilar values around sexuality and\nviolence so that each family isn’t
working alone.

articipants are asked to make seed balls for the park but will also get to
take some home to throw into their own yards or open spaces.

Research shows that detecting melanoma early can mean the di
fference between life and a life-threatening illness. Hair stylists and be
auty professionals can play an important role in catching suspicious spots
early on clients’ heads\, ears and/or necks and recommending that the spo
t be checked out by a dermatologist. To encourage this conversation\, the
MRF created a program called Mark the SPOT!

\n

Every hour of every d
ay someone dies from melanoma. It is the leading cause of cancer death in
women in their late 20s\, but can strike men and women of all ages\, races
\, and skin types. Melanoma isn’t “just skin cancer” – it can develop anyw
here – eyes (ocular melanoma)\, mouth (mucosal melanoma)\, scalp\, nails\,
feet\, etc. While other cancer diagnoses are decreasing\, the rates of me
lanoma are going up\, making research funding increasingly imperative.

New Jersey is home to the second-largest Cuban population in the United St
ates. The area of Union City and West New York came to be known as “Havana
on the Hudson” in the late 70s and 80s. Today\, the once-heavy Cuban infl
uence in New Jersey is beginning to wane as the community ages and moves t
o Florida\, and other Latino immigrants from Central and South America pou
r into the state. Beyond Exile illustrates why Cubans were drawn to the Ga
rden State during the second half of the 20th century and how—as they buil
t strong\, intimate\, and vibrant communities—they transformed the culture
and economies of many towns in Northern New Jersey. The exhibit examines
the roles of women\, the arts\, religion\, political culture\, and the eff
ect of exile itself in the community’s immigrant experience—as well as the
fact that\, contrary to a popular misconception\, Cubans in New Jersey ha
ve never been a monolithic group.

The exhibit includes a selec
tion of works by Cuban-American artists\, photographs\, and historical map
s of La Habana and vintage Cuban postcards from the Newark Public Library’
s Special Collections Division.

\n

The Newark Public Library is locat
ed at 5 Washington Street on Washington Park in downtown Newark’s growing
cultural complex. The exhibition is open during regular library hours\, Mo
nday through Saturday\, with free admission. Group visits and more details
are readily available by calling the Sala Hispanoamericana at the Library

About the Event
strong>

\n

The Far Hills Race Meeting traces its origins to the Essex
Hunt\, a fox hunting event founded in Montclair\, NJ in 1870. In 1913\, t
he organizers of the Essex Hunt incorporated as the Essex Fox Hounds. In 1
916\, the event moved from the original club site to the Grant B. Schley e
state — today known as Moorland Farm. Eventually becoming the Far Hills Ra
ce Meeting\, the races have been continually run—with the exception of a s
hort hiatus during World War II — on the same site.

(LITTLE FALLS\, NJ – October 22) – Five d
ays before Major League Baseball (MLB) kicks off the World Series\, portra
its of legendary NY Yankees will be displayed at Yogi Berra Museum & Learn
ing Center (on the campus of Montclair State University) on Thursday\, Oct
ober 22\, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

\n

The Yankee Legends Collection Art Ex
hibit and Reception\, which is being hosted by Civic Duty Partners\, Inc.
and sponsored by Curemark\, LLC\, is open to the public. A portion of the
proceeds will support Spectrum Works\, a Secaucus-based organization that
empowers and employs adults who have autism. One of the Spectrum Works emp
loyees is Andrew Berra\, Yogi Berra’s grandson.

\n

Andrew’s father\,
Larry Berra said\, “Spectrum Works is different than any other program tha
t Andrew has participated in – they trained him in a real business environ
ment (largest screen printing company on the East Coast)\, pay him a compe
titive wage and gave him the opportunity for full-time employment in an in
clusive work environment. He works with screen printing\, heat transfers a
nd assembly work – he loves it! Now he’s a proud kid\, he has confidence a
nd he knows that people appreciate what he’s doing. It’s not just about do
ing a job – when the Executive Director calls him and says ‘we need you to
day\,’ Andrew gets very excited. He says\, ‘Dad you have to take me tomorr
ow\, they need me.’ Spectrum Works has truly impacted my son’s life.”

\n

That’s why Civic Duty Partners and Art to Dream For along with nation
ally acclaimed Watercolor Artist James Fiorentino are involved: to make a
difference. The Yankee Legends Collection that Fiorentino created will be
displayed at the benefit along with a new picture that he painted as a tri
bute to the late\, great Yogi Berra.

\n

According to Flemington res
ident James Fiorentino\, “I first met the legendary Yogi Berra when I was
15. He signed my artwork and\, over the years\, I painted this amazing for
mer NY Yankee more than 20 times. I feel so honored to have a show at the
Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center. There is no better place I can thin
k of to show my Yankee Legends Collection and some of my new Yankee artwor
k.”

\n

The following former Major League Baseball greats will attend
the Yankee Legends Collection art exhibit and reception: Roy White\, John
Montefusco\, and Fred Cambria.
